Easter Treasure Hunt - A Blog Hop!

Hooray, it's time for Jo's Easter Blog Hop! Please start at her blog and hop around like the little bunny you are and collect the letters.  Spring is Best Season so of course any excuse is good to work up more seasonal goodies for this hop.

old readers - remember these guys?

Here is my contribution for this year! I actually wasn't sure I would be able to get anything done due to a whole lotta life happening this past month but I did manage to squeak in a finish just in time for the hop and last-second-begged asked to be included.

some flowers for you

Beads!  It is not my first beaded piece, though it is my first fully beaded piece!  What a fun thing to try.  This little kit was picked up in a thrift store (are you familiar with that phrase yet?) and has an option to make the piece into a brooch.  I do not think I am going to go that way as it is quite large for a brooch, at least, larger than I'd wear without fear of it getting damaged!  Instead I finished it off into a little hanging ornament to put out with other Easter decorations.  I like ornaments.  And seasonal decorations.

There were a few small issues with this kit.  Veterans of older Mill Hill kits may know this but there was no way to tell what colors were what and of course they come all jumbled together.  I had to make Educated(?) Guesses about the differences between the various pinks and blues which all look mighty similar in the container although their differences are obvious worked up.  I found out early on I couldn't rely on the finished image either!  Oh well, we all like winging it, right? :D

Technical Details

And here's what you've all been waiting breathlessly for -- the letter!

Thanks for stopping by! :D  I am the last stop so you should be heading back to Jo's blog to assemble your collected letters!  I hope you all have (had) a lovely Good Friday and a Joyous Easter!

As usual with these blog hops, I've scheduled this post to appear overnight here so the people in the future (read: the rest of the world) can have the post in a timely fashion.  I am also linking up with the Small SAL as this is really quite small!
